Perspective

Developer's Note
I've started working on reimplementing Overlays.
This release does include the new variables backend, but isn't used anywhere yet.

I am planning on making an Overlays screen, similar to the shader selection screen, allowing players to re-order overlays (with the eventual goal of an 'advanced' text-editor screen for custom overlays).

• Updated Bundled Luminance
• You can now reorder shaders on the Shader Selection Screen by dragging over another shader.
  • Note: Keybindings will cycle the first shader in the list.

Report bugs here.

You'll need to install Luminance 1.1 beta 7 alongside, as the included version contains a null error that prevents booting.

• Reimplemented Shader Selection Screen.
  • The shader selection screen now supports shader stacking, just double click to add/remove shaders.
  • Re-ordering is not (yet) implemented, sorry!
• Updated Bundled Luminance and Seam.
• Reimplemented Dynamic Crosshair
  • In a future alpha, I'll reimplement the data-driven taglists.
  • When using Dynamic Crosshair, instead of rendering as an invert, we use alpha to fade (to prevent flickering).
    • This means the crosshair will be the texture's colour - with vanilla's being white.

• Fixed Reset on Release. (#3)
• Fixed Super Secret Settings message bar not working.
• Updated config screen.
  • Added Kaleidoscope options.
  • Added most Super Secret Settings options.
    • The only thing that isn't ready for shaders is the shader selection screen.
      • I want to make this screen be able to select and re-order multiple shaders together, however this may take some time.
• Reimplemented Death Screen Co-ords.
• UI Background is now data-driven.

• Replaced ZoomOverlay with ZoomAV
• Config Screen (note, it doesn't contain all config values yet)
• Fixed silhouette/outlined shaders crashing the game (this was actually a Luminance issue)

This is an experimental version!
This alpha does NOT contain all of Perspective's features.
Config files and addons made for versions below 1.3 alpha 13 will not be compatible.
You won't be able to edit the config via the gui (unless you have McQoy, though we'll have our own gui again soon)

• Added Zoom Overlays
  • You can currently set between perspective_lens:none and perspective_lens:spyglass in the config file.
• Updated Zoom Transitions
  • Transition Speed is now in the transition instead of the zoom instance.
  • Added perspective_lens:instant transition type.
• Reimplemented HideHud for Hold Perspective and Zoom.
• Reimplemented UI Background
  • Here's the identifiers to set in the config (config screens are coming back soon, i promise!)
    • perspective_ui:vanilla
      • Doesn't modify rendering.
    • perspective_ui:gaussian
      • Replaces vanilla's box blur with a gaussian blur.
    • perspective_ui:legacy
      • Renders a gradient when in-game, and a dirt background when in menus (excluding the title screen) out of game.
    • perspective_ui:classic
      • Renders a gradient when in-game, and a dirt background when in menus (including the title screen) out of game.
    • perspective_ui:none
      • Removes background rendering from all screens.
  • The new system is a lot more customizable for addon mods now, taking inspiration from my new zoom implementation.

features in this version

don't worry, all of Perspective's features will return.
it's just going to take some time to get everything cleaned up and updated! (you'll need to change the configs via the files for now!)

• Zoom
• Kaleidoscope
• Super Secret Settings (though you can't select it on a gui in this alpha, you can still use keybinds though!)
• Hold and Set Perspective
  • Camera Distance Multipliers
• Title Screen Update Texture
  • perspective:textures/gui/title/update.png (256x128)
• Star Brightness Multiplier
• UI Background

• Updated to Minecraft 1.21.11
• Updated Luminance to 1.1.0-beta.2+fabric-1.21.11
• Started working on v2.
  • v2 will split Perspective into multiple sub-mods, with Perspective bundling them together; they'll also be avaliable seperately.
  • This is going to require alot of rewriting, so I've started working on that for v1.3 to allow for most addons to be compatible with both 1.3+ and 2.0+.

F.A.Q

• When will Perspective be updated for 1.21.10?
  • 1.21.5+ contains a lot of rendering changes. Luminance (our shader renderer) will be updated first. This may take some time. I am looking to split Perspective up in future to allow for specific features to be used separately, however this is a long-term goal.

• Updated Luminance to alpha.6+dirty.
  • This is a developer build of Luminance, you may experience bugs.
• Added Perspective Shader Packs
  • Shader Packs are a new resource pack feature that allows you to stack several Luminance shaders.
  • Perspective automatically adds Luminance shaders as shader packs.
  • Where Perspective used to use Luminance shaders, it will now use Shader Packs.
• Added Textured Entity Shader Packs.
  • You can specify a shader pack for spectating textured entities.
  • minecraft:sheep with the name jeb_ will render the minecraft:wobble shader if Super Secret Settings resource pack is enabled.
  • minecraft:allay will render perspective:golden_allay when named Golden, or perspective:blue_allay when unnamed.
  • minecraft:vex will render perspective:golden_vex when named Golden, or perspective:blue_vex when unnamed.
• Added Perspective Config button to Video Settings screen.
• Shaders, and Shader Packs no longer have to specify if they are translatable.
• Various updates to April Fools, and Contributor features.

See Luminance:ResourcePackGuide/Perspective for info.

F.A.Q

• When will Perspective be updated for 1.21.5?
  • 1.21.5 changes both shader and entity rendering. This makes the amount of time updating Perspective will take longer. We'll be updating Luminance (our shader renderer) first. If you're just after zoom and hold perspective, a viewpoint release will be released sometime in the next week or so.
